The tail gate lift assist no longer works, to lift it I'm lifting the whole weight of the tailgate. It won't stay open, so I have to hold it up while trying to put something in the back. There is a recall on this for the traverse, but my VIN does not appear to be included.

I bought the car 12/2015. When the engine stopped on me on 1-95 with my children and I, we were terrified. During a service in 2/2016, I found out there was a 20,000 mile discrepancy. They supposedly fixed the engine but the A/C was not covered in the standard warranty. Since then, I bought my car to autonation in aprox. 12 times. Last time, I bought the car over in may, I dropped in off because my car was shaking, gas was coming out the pipe and then it stopped and received my car back over 24 hours later. When I picked my car back, I received a estimate of atleast $3,000 and was told if I were to get the certain repairs done to the car, it does not mean that, my car would stop having the problem, when the car stops. Again, this month, my car did the same thing and the trunk door would not stay open, I have to hold the door up with my hands. Then I took it somewhere else, that repair center, stated that my computer has problems, I need a new condenser and compressor.

Traveling approximately 55mph we were hit on the rear passenger side damage to the rear passenger tire well and rear right side on the body with extensive damage underneath. No airbags deployed at anytime in the vehicle. It was taken to the dealer's collision and repair shop and after several weeks it was returned. Within a week of getting it back the service airbag light came on, we took it back to collision repair center thinking it was an issue with the accident but the collision repair sent it to the dealership saying it was a warranty issue. I've taken this vehicle back 4 times now for the same service airbag light. Dealership service department supervisor keeps telling me it's an issue with there not being a grease needed on the sensors and that they apply to each sensor as it comes up, now on the 4th trip back service department manager claims that isn't correct and it has nothing to do with the issue. Each and every time I've taken this car in I have specifically asked if this is a safety issue and if it means my airbags are not working correctly every time I've been told, "no, your airbags are ok, there is no risk to you or your family." dropped car of for final research into this issue since light came on again this week and service manager tells me that yes it does mean my airbags are not operating properly and there is a safety issue here.
